I think my (old, 2nd gen) Prius was a decent balance of physical controls and touchscreen controls. It does have a touchscreen integrated, but it's used primarily for display and very secondary functions. Most of what you need to do is controllable from the steering wheel or physical controls on the dash, it's only secondary things like adjusting the A/C (which isn't needed frequently since it auto-adjusts to temperature) and maps (which is clunky as hell but ideally is being manipulated when you're stationary.

The best thing the prius does is put the display forward where your hands and steering wheel spokes can't obscure them. This is cancelled out by that godforsaken shifter that returns to the same position regardless of the gear it's in and is only one step above the stupid FCA knob.

You also have some A/C controls on the steering wheel, so rarely need to use the touchscreen.
